  To be fair a late substitute, a tad ordinary and vfm a bit questionable. It is a decent NZ Chardonnay but hardly a stand out wine. No sign of old age yet.

  Scorched mineral, creamed nut, apple, citrus, and toast nose. Lively and bright structure; medium-bodied with a vibrant, flavourful finish.
  4/5

  An Easter weekend of mainly NZ wines concluded with this well known winery (perhaps better known for its SB). This is a good mid-weight example of NZ Chardonnay, a tad expensive for what it is but still enjoyable.
